In my case, I was lucky. I did a distribution upgrade and met with minimal problems.

I guess it might be a good idea to downgrade to 6.06 then, as NoOp has suggested. I've seen worst distributions out there. I don't know about now, but when I was with Fedora, things broke down all the time becos the maintainers were constantly releasing buggy updates. Ubuntu is one of the best distributions I've ever seen.
